UGG...Roach Droppings

[mrzrich]

Leaving for the Fort in 6 days and decided to open the pop-up to take inventory. Haven't used it since June. There were roach droppings in everything! Now I must remove all my camping supplies, sleeping bags, linens, cookware, utensils and disinfect everything and wash down the interior of the camper thouroughly. Unfortunately I work up until the day before my trip and have no clue how I will get it all done.

I have stored this camper in the same spot for many years, and have never had such a bad infestation.

Any advice?

Ew~ glad you found it before you left. Think what an unhappy surprise that would have been Now gather up all the linens and sleeping bags and drop them off at the laundry. Since ou only have 5 days, pay someone else to wash, dry & fold. Everything washable goes in the dishwasher. Get some hot soapy water and wipe down all surfaces--if you can pay someone to do that(camper dealer?) do it. Be careful using bleach--sometimes that can weaken your walks and make them leak. Good luck

Sounds like good advice to me! I hope you can get everything done without going crazy.

Dumb question, but is evidence of a roach infestation obvious? I don't need details, just wondering if this is something I should expect with our new/used pop up that hasn't been opened in a while. We are in the northeast.
